Nicolas Batum (elbow) is out on Monday and could miss additional time, so it's time to pick Lamb up if he was dropped in your leagues. Associate Head Coach Stephen Silas said Lamb will start barring a setback in warmups. Lamb has averages of 16.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 triples as a starter this season.

Lamb wasn't able to play on Saturday and we don't have an update on his progress because the Hornets did not practice on Sunday. If Saturday's game was an indication, the Hornets will need Malik Monk, Treveon Graham and Dwayne Bacon to play larger roles if Lamb can't go. Keep in mind that Nicolas Batum (elbow) is also questionable. Dec 10 - 1:03 PM

After suffering his injury on Friday, he gets ruled out before warmups today. There has been no word of him getting re-evaluated and he figures to be day-to-day. With him out, Treveon Graham should be looking at solid minutes at both forward spots, Dwayne Bacon should be in the rotation, and maybe Malik Monk plays some shooting guard minutes. Dec 9 - 5:24 PM

Cody Zeller underwent successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on Tuesday, and he's expected to miss at least the next six weeks of action.

Frank Kaminsky and Marvin Williams will be picking up the slack in his absence, with Williams offering a bit more upside. Zeller's absence could certainly extend beyond that six-week window, so he's not worth hanging onto in most scenarios.
